Financial Aid for International Students
Financial aid opportunities for first-year international students are limited and at present; there is no funding to assist international transfer students. International students should be prepared to finance, either privately or through a sponsor, the full cost of their Notre Dame education. The International Student Certification of Finances must be submitted at the time of application for admission, illustrating and documenting sufficient financial support to meet the projected cost of a Notre Dame undergraduate education. The International Student Certification of Finances (202 kb pdf) is available from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
